Profile:
Edward Dawson was according to Wisden "a cricketer who by sheer application
and adherence to the basic principles of batting reached a higher place than
many of greater natural ability". A successful schoolboy player at Eton, he
honed his abilities at Cambridge, where he opened the batting for four
years, in the last of which (1927) he acted as captain. He played for
Leicestershire after the end of University term and in 1928 became their
captain. Dawson was a reliable bat with a very correct, straight method, and
an excellent captain (although he was always openly grateful for the support
and advice he received from his senior professional, George Geary). He
toured New Zealand in 1928-29, playing in the first Test matches against
them. He was also a fine fielder, particularly on the off-side (DL 2000).
